How do I replace a vapor sensor on a Rheem power vent water heater

[massplumber2008]

Hi Coach:

My understanding here is that you CAN'T replace the vapor sensor... :( What makes you so sure the vapor sensor is gone... not easy to locate this?

When I last called rheem, I was told that once the vapor switch has expired the water heater is considered to be dead. However, most water heaters with a vapor sensor are still under warranty and replacement will be covered by warranty (heater itself... usually not the labor/parts to re-install). You will need the model and serial number to confirm warranty.

Give Rheem customer service a call at: 1-800-621-5622

Give Rheem technical support a call at: 1-800-432-8373

You can check warranty here: Rheem Product Warranty Registration and Information Click on the warranty verification utility prompt on screen

Let me know if they confirm my statements above... O.K.?

Thanks...
